Chapter Eighty-Three: Yifu Noodles

After more than a year of experience and growth through time, Tang Ning is rarely surprised by one thing now, but today he was really surprised, because he didn't expect that Han Xuewei's cousin would actually be a soldier, although this man named Yan Zhen did not wear a military uniform, but the iron-blooded momentum on his body could not be hidden, especially the security team under Tang Ning was composed of retired soldiers, and he himself (the real Tony Downing) had also participated in the war in the Philippines, so he was very sensitive to this momentum, And there is absolutely no misjudgment.

Therefore, Tang Ning opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Yan should have been in the army, right?" ”

Yan Zhen habitually put his legs together, stretched his hand into the air before he reacted and retracted, and replied a little embarrassedly: "It turned out to be the 74th Division under General Zhang Lingfu, who retired half a year ago, and some habits have not been changed, which makes Mr. Tang Ning smile." ”

Tang Ning was shocked when he heard it, Zhang Lingfu and his people he still knows very well (because of fear of harmony, I will not introduce Zhang Lingfu, interested friends can Baidu by themselves, his life is legendary, but no matter how you evaluate him, I personally feel that his contribution to the anti-Japanese resistance is undoubted and indelible!) So he asked, "It turns out that you used to be under General Zhang, but for some reason you left the army and changed to business?" ”

Yan Zhen replied a little lonely: "As a soldier, it is my duty to defend the country and fight against the Japanese invaders, so when I fought with the Japanese, no matter how difficult the conditions were and how huge the sacrifice, I had no complaints, the year before last the anti-Japanese war had ended, and the country should be in the stage of peaceful recuperation, but there was still a war in the country, and I didn't want to talk about who was right and who was wrong, but my gun was not willing to be aimed at my compatriots, so I chose to retire and left my beloved army, but unfortunately General Zhang refused to go, hey, I heard that he had died half a month ago, which made people sigh. ”

What Yan Zhen said was actually the Battle of Menglianggu, Tang Ning was still very familiar with it, not that his historical knowledge was solid enough to remember the exact time of the Battle of Menglianggu, but that the newspapers in the army gave a detailed introduction to it in the previous paragraph, and Tang Ning also sighed: "Sometimes the changes in the situation are not something that we little people can control, so I am now out of the army, but I have maintained my military status, and I have resigned from all my military positions and changed to business. ”

Yan Zhen said with a smile: "How can I compare with Mr. Tangning, I heard Xiaowei say that your business is very big, and I can hear your name when I inquire a little in Tokyo these days." I'm just starting to think about doing business, so don't I have nothing left? ”

Tang Ning shook his head: "Mr. Yan is too modest to say this, not to mention anything else, just based on the instant noodles you invented, I guarantee that as long as we work together, the future prospects will definitely be limitless, maybe all my current business together will not be as good as the profits created by instant noodles." ”

Yan Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "Mr. Tangning, don't listen to Xiaowei's nonsense, this chicken soup noodles was not invented by me, this is the merit of our ancient Chinese, I don't dare to take it on my body casually." ”

Tang Ning was a little curious, and said in his heart, wasn't this instant noodle invented by the Japanese who started the Nissin Company, when did it become invented by the ancient Chinese?

Yan Zhen saw Tang Ning's surprised appearance, and hurriedly explained: "This kind of noodles is actually the Yifu noodles that have been circulating in Yangzhou, according to legend, it was inadvertently made by Yi Bingshou, the prefect of Yangzhou during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and later the poet and calligrapher Song Xiang felt very delicious after tasting it, and named it Yifu noodles, referred to as Yifu noodles, which is very popular in the local area. ”

Tang Ning said quietly on the surface: "Mr. Yan can improve and promote folk snacks, which is also a merit." "I was amazed in my heart, this instant noodle was really invented by the Chinese, and it seems that I am lonely and unheard."

Han Xuewei next to her interjected: "Cousin, how did you come up with the idea of improving the production of this instant noodles?" ”

Yan Zhen sighed: "It turns out that when I was in the army, I felt that doing business seemed to be a very simple thing, and even those who only knew how to nod their heads all day long could do business and make a lot of money, and I would definitely do better than them." But when I really started doing this business, I realized that it was actually much more difficult than fighting, and after running into walls everywhere and failing one after another, I slowly found a little bit of the doorway.

I saw that hamburgers and pizza are very popular in the United States, and then I thought of Yifu noodles, which I love to eat. It's a pity that the promotion of Yifu noodles in the United States is not going well, maybe this kind of noodles does not meet the taste of Americans, I plan to return to China to try, but there is no direct return to the country, so I took this Rollo to Tokyo to take the ship, I want to see by the way what this small country that has invaded and bullied us for decades is like, and then I was lucky to meet Xiaowei, and it is a great honor to meet Mr. Tangning. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Tang Ning said in a positive tone: "Mr. Yan, I am very interested in your Yifu noodles, that is, the instant noodles I named privately, and I also want to cooperate with you, but there are some situations I must explain to you in advance, first of all, although I think that instant noodles have a good prospect, but not now, because people who like noodles, especially this kind of noodles, are mainly Japanese and Chinese, but in the current situation of the two countries, the consumption level of ordinary people is still too low, and it takes a certain amount of time to ease, in addition, There are still many things that need to be improved in instant noodles, for example, the salty and light taste of instant noodles is the same, which cannot meet the different needs of different people for the weight of the taste, so we still need to improve, so I hope that Mr. Yan can stay with me to improve and develop the promising industry of instant noodles. The second is that I am about to relocate most of my factories from Tokyo to Okinawa, which means that our base will be in Okinawa in the future, so I don't know if you can accept it. ”

The reason why Tang Ning said this is because in the chat just now, he learned that Yan Zhen turned out to be the lead instructor of the 74th Division New Barracks, for such talents, Tang Ning wanted to stay, and from a selfish point of view, he still felt that the Chinese were the most reliable, of course, this Yan Zhen still needs to pass his test.
